I've been studying for my CompTIA A+ (self paced) for a few months now. Do I continue learning the 2006 objectives or do I just by pass this now, and go for the updated exams?! I was intending to take my exam by the end of the year!

Go with the 700 series. It's not an enormous difference in terms of exam objectives but it does make you more relevant to employers.

The 2007 exams dont retire until Feb 2010 at the earliest so i would stick to what you are doing now especially as you intend to do exams by the end of the year.
Also i dont think it will matter in the slightest to an employer which version of the exams you pass, as showing you have the A+ is showing you are competent and able to do the job.

I think considering the time I've spent on the essentials and 220-602 exams, it would just be crazy to start all over... Full steam ahead it is then....

Hey can anyone recommend any test exams that are close to the real thing?

I'd recommend Boson. I've not tried any of the other ones which are recommended round these parts though.
I found the Boson exams to be accurate with informative, well-referenced explanations and pitched just a little bit harder than I found the real thing. Exactly what I want from a practice exam.
